I don't think so, I remember the different spellings as a feature of coverage about him going back to the 80s.

Is that the corpse picuture at the end of that article?

Yes: القَذَّافِي‎. :P That's what's up with it, and it's also why you occasionally saw reports about Usama bin Laden or w/e. There's no 100% transcribing method to bring Arabic names to English. Which is awesome if you have problems spelling furin' words, like I do. :P

Anyway, this is pretty cool news. I can't wait to see what equally repressive but democratic and open to reform regime comes to take his place.
